In-form West Brom 5/8 to avoid defeat against Tottenham

With seven points from their last four games, relegation-threatened West Bromwich Albion are now hitting some form at the opportune time. The Midlands outfit have lost just five games from their last 16 in the league and could well take points of Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon.

888 Sport are giving the in-form outfit odds of 5/8 to win or draw against a Spurs side who haven’t won away from home in the Premier League for two months. Baggies have lost just one home game since early December, and they drew 1-1 with Tottenham at White Hart Lane when the two sides met earlier this season.

Sitting in 16th place, five points clear of the relegation zone, any result this afternoon would be a big boost to the Baggies’ survival hopes. Their form of late will certainly see Tottenham not take any liberties when the two sides come up against each other today.

The Hawthorns has been jokingly called a curse ground, as managers have found the sack after disappointing results at West Brom’s home. Considering Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood has been teetering on the sack ever since getting the job mid-season, he’ll be weary of potentially being next.
